Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster’s taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing.

The earliest desired media I can remember that drove me to figure out sailing was DC Talk, a Christian rock band. Pop music was not allowed in my house, so a Christian group was tantalizing and scandalous to a rebellious, young Vanth. Things escalated from there.

    Ares! I can’t find an English wikipedia article about it 😮 Just found out it was written in delphi and opensource.

    Those were the days… DC++, Ares, Limewire, Napster, Emule, Bearshare… so many things just to download the latest Linkin Park. Only for it to end up being porn 😅

        Cause people like porn. I’ll be honest, when I downloaded some music video or something that ended up being porn, I usually wasn’t too disappointed, with the exception that I now had to go find what I was originally looking for again and wait for it to download. Shit used to take forever back in the day.

          Yeah, but I don’t see the point. If I’m looking for a song, I don’t want porn. It’s not like you’d find more than enough porn when searching for it.

          My guess is it was a way to “hide” it, when back on the day most people shared a computer. But idk
